Walk the trails, admire the view from the Fiore di pietra, and let yourself be amazed by the wonders that make Monte Generoso an unmissable destination.
Since 1890, the iconic Monte Generoso cogwheel train has carried visitors from the shores of Lake Lugano to the summit of Monte Generoso. The 40-minute panoramic journey passes through forests, alpine meadows, and spectacular scenery before reaching the Fiore di pietra at 1,704 metres above sea level. A unique experience that immerses travellers in nature and offers breathtaking views over the Alps and the Po Valley.
